Our Grades

Pick a grade, or tell us your spec

The three grades below are what we run regularly, each backed by its own independent laboratory report. If your process needs an iodine number in between, we produce to order.

All three grades, side by side

Every figure below comes from an IDSurvey / PT Sucofindo report on our own production, analysed under SNI 06-3730-1995.

Mesh Sizes

Three granule fractions

Every iodine grade is available in all three fractions — choose by flow rate and contact time, not by grade.

Coconut-shell granular activated carbon, mesh 4x8, in a laboratory dish 4x8

Coarse

Largest granule. Low pressure drop — suited to high-flow filter beds.

Granular activated carbon, mesh 6x12, heaped in a laboratory dish 6x12

Medium

The general-purpose fraction, balancing contact time against flow resistance.

Fine granular activated carbon, mesh 8x30, heaped in a laboratory dish 8x30

Fine

Highest surface area per bed volume for demanding adsorption duty.

On the Floor

What the grain actually looks like

Thirteen silent seconds off our screening deck, filmed on a phone and left unretouched. Nothing loads until you press play.

Applications

Where our carbon does its work

Water purification

Removing colour, odour, chlorine and dissolved organics from drinking water, process water and wastewater streams.

Metal capture

Adsorbing dissolved metals from industrial process liquids — one of the two applications our carbon is produced for.

Industrial filtration

General-purpose adsorption duty where high pure-carbon content and a clean, dust-free granule matter.
